Wow, this looks like a really obscure error message. A Google search literally turns up only 2 pages, and neither are English. I'm not sure what I can suggest, except that it may be a corrupted file somewhere. I'm not sure what "metadata" would be, though. :

Is this for CS1.6 or CS:S? If it's 1.6, it should be under Half-Life Engine Discussion, if it's Source, it should obviously be under Source Engine Discussion. I've never seen this problem before, so I can't help you unless I know what engine it's for.

It's just for displaying the mod and providing download links. Nobody wants to be linked to some forum thread when they're checking out a new mod. Image is important. Plus, you can't register it with ModDB if you don't have a working site. Not sure if you were planning on doing that or not.

in Creating 8-bit Decals Post #218283
Well, if you were really intent on it, you could make a "{" transparent texture, place the texture on a brush, and stick it one unit away from the wall you want it to be on. It won't be right against the wall, but it'll be damn close.

Those gaping holes can be nice to check up on your hardware, and they're not ugly if your wires are organized correctly. Unfortunately, most people's aren't. In fact, I'd say they promote case cleanliness and good airflow, since you don't want to be looking at an unkempt and dusty mess.

I was gonna suggest that one too, since it's like an Armor without useless flaps on the front, but I personally don't like the look of them too much, and alex said he wanted it to be black.

in 14 year old to be tried as terrorist Post #218062
He's being charged as an adult because he carried around some weapons (which is too bad, but it's not unheard of), and threatened someone with a knife (oh god, that's NEVER happened before)? It does seem like overkill, to me.

What I really want to know is, how did they get the information about him "plotting a Columbine-like scenario"? Did he actually confess this, or did some crackpot policeman deduce this the minute he laid eyes on the backpack's contents? I'm skeptical, to say the least.

in Creating or Cutting Walls Post #218025
Brattylord, that is horrible advice, I have to say. Never use the clip tool? Are you insane? Its like, the second most useful tool in Hammer! What are you on?!?!

You also said not to use cylinders, which is bullshit. How else do you suppose you'll get rounded shapes if you never use the cylinder or clip tool? Your advice on wedges is flat out ridiculous, too. Are you just trying to make this mapper's life hard?

And last but definitely not least, those other "pesky tools" are hardly pesky. For instance, how do you think you can get a perfectly shaped rounded wall piece without using the arch tool? It may be possible, but it would take ages, and there is absolutely no reason not to use it.

in New mod I am working on - WIP - Post #218012
What the game the mod is for is on the link to its wiki, and the topic has WIP on it.
That's a pathetic excuse for making a crappy thread name. Why do people have to do this? It gets on my nerves SO much. They name their thread things like "I'm having a problem", "look at this", "check out this cool thing", or "I'm working on a new project". For fucks sake, just name the thread about the contents of it, not the actions you're taking! Just saying that it's a work in progress is NOT enough. There's few mods here that aren't in this stage.

in Blue texure not showing transparent.. Post #217940
It also has to be the last color in the pallet. Also, make sure you have the { before the name. I noticed the BMP you posted didn't have this there, so if that's the same name you're using for the texture in your map, then that's your problem.

Indeed. I constantly get "texture axis perpendicular to face" errors, but they never were a problem for me, since simply checking for errors and hitting the "fix" button always, well, fixes it.

in Repeated error Post #217899
From 69th Vlatitude:
Q. What is this "Bad Surface Extents ????/0" error?
A. This is most commonly caused by having a really large brush. Sometimes a brush doesn't necessarily have to be too large, but if the texture is scaled down too small on it, you can still get this error.

The way compiling works is that on a standard texture scale (1.0) the compiler will break that texture up according to it's scale. In the case of 1.0, it doesn't have to. However, when you scale down the compiler has to make more cuts. The lower smaller the texture becomes, the more the compiloer has to cut. If it has to cut an insane amount of times, you can get this error.

On the flip side, scaling too large can give you this error as well. The solution? Find the offending brush and cut it into two or three smaller pieces using the clip tool. This will generally solve around 95% of the problems associated with this error. However, in some cases, this error can also be generated when you have an invalid shape. These generate floating point values that cause problems during compile. You may not know what that means, but WorldCraft usually does. Go into WorldCraft/Hammer and click on map > Check for Problems. This will point you to the offending brush and either fix it for you, or allow you to delete or fix the brush yourself.

Penguinboy: They're actually extremely useful, if you have your computer sitting on the floor and it's at risk of being kicked, or you have chair that swings around and bangs against it, like me. However, they're only useful in this sense if they happen to be metal.

Also, server cases almost always have a door with a lock on them, for obvious reasons. I'm thinking it was brought over into the consumer market from them, for applications such as LAN parties...

in New Case... what to buy? Post #217881
You mentioned the Thermaltake Armor and Kandolf, but what about the Shark? Would you consider it too tacky? That's what I have, and compared to most cases these days, I would consider it fairly modest. Other than some trim around the bottom and top, and that thing in the side, there's no exposed plastic (it's entirely plastic behind the door, although it's not outlandish at all.)

If you don't like the blue lights on it, you can always unscrew the LED on the door, and replace the single lighted rear fan.

Oh, and Elon fails yet again for not knowing that case doors exist.
